Well, in my world and the environment that I work in, "Emergency Stop (Shutoff)" and "Emergency Brake" mean two different things. But you're right, this is all for entertainment.

Very interesting 22 minute video of destructive tests on a chairlift including two different rollbacks. With the manufacturer in the video there are multiple levels of brakes but it was possible for a gearbox disconnect combined with operator error to have a very catastrophic rollback in minutes 4:25 to 8 (worse than the Georgia rollback): Link to original video: https://youtu.be/u4WPSZojtyE Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

I've skied a bit in Austria, Switzerland, and a little in France, and my opinion of the resort employees was that they were only there to flirt with the beautiful women and go drag your broken butt off the slopes if you busted it big time. I skied an entire two days in Jungfrau, Switzerland and only saw Ski Patrol in the lodge when I had lunch. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

Skiing in Europe is most definitely a different experience than skiing in North America. In a sense, you're pretty much on your own. You're expected to know what you're doing. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

And/or you're expected to get the hell out of the way of those who do know what they're doing.  I don't speak French, but I'm pretty certain the individual who showered me with commentary when I busted it big time in front of him in a mogul field, probably was not of an encouraging nature.  ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.
